Inside Hugh Jackman's Workout for Wolverine

It's hard to imagine that this guy went from this

to this ................

 

 Hugh Jackman owned the role of Wolverine. Who could forget this epic scene when Wolverine rose from the water. (really.... who could forget it when it remained my wife's desktop image for weeks after....a little not so subtle hint to get my ass in shape )

 THE ANIMAL. His name was B-A-D-A-S-S. He was the man.

But many fans would not know that he was not always the rough, bearded muscle-man we know today. Oh no. For your viewing pleasure... Hugh Jackman

It took nothing short of a miracle for this kind of transformation and Mike Ryan, Hugh Jackman's personal trainer, should know. If your a-one-ab-kidda guy seeking to beef up, Mike Ryan offers some tips to get you there.

TIPS
Train in the morning where possible – it’s the best way to ensure intensity.

Always warm up sufficiently – not just with cardio, but by doing the movements before adding weights.

Work on ‘progressive overload – always keep increasing the weight, and keep a training diary to record your progress.


Mix things up – constantly change the tempo, speed, incline, grip – anything so that you’re not always performing the same movement.

Feel the movement – focus on each muscle activation rather than simply aiming to finish the set.

Don’t overtrain – learn what your body can cope with.

Get plenty of rest – at least seven hours of good sleep a night

Reminder: If it was easy Hollywood would have found a way to do it..then mass produce it.

Like if you saw Hugh Jackman get whacked in the nuts by a cricket ball -lol.
